Even though it’s getting trashed by the critics (only 6% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes), my pick for this week is The Pink Panther 2.

Other releases this week include He’s Just Not Into You (42% Fresh), Push (31% Fresh), and Fanboys (27% Fresh).
And that’s this weekend in movies.

Tokyo Story – First…
I went to Fan Expo Canada for the first time in 2009. Before that time, I decided to skip out on the convention, because I was taken aback by how pricey the tickets were. In fact, if it wasn’t for the fact that James Duval from Donnie Darko was appearing, I probably would have also…
It has definitely been a very slow period of movie watching. With the course I was taking now pretty much over, I now expect that I will have time to watch films more regularly. Anyways, here is what I watched over the last two weeks or so. Theatrical Screenings Much Ado About Nothing – Turned…
